As technology advances, the communications program at FWSA is moving forward as
well, bringing you closer to exciting trips and
travel, to the snowsports world, and to your
friends.
The past year saw the release of a brandnew website, much easier to navigate, and
with more and better content. If you have not
yet seen www.fwsa.org in the past year, you
should stop by soon. The new website is
topped by an extensive menu of content, with
a feature article, a calendar of upcoming
events and travel, and links to great publications on the front page. It is constantly being
updated with fresh material. Stop by often!
The next step for the website will be to
add more interactive features, allowing you to
create your own login, and bringing you access to members-only capabilities. We will be
rolling out these features over the coming

Skiing Around the World:
Volume II by Jimmy Petterson
Currently in Production
Jimmy Petterson's award-winning seminal
work, Skiing Around the World was published in
2005 and sold out in 2008. In the eight years since
it first hit the shelves, Jimmy has been working
on Volume Two of his life's work. At this point,
he has skied in a total of 69 countries, and despite
a broken neck last year that laid him low for a
while, he is heading to Antarctica in November
to gather material for the new book. As with his
first book, Skiing Around the World: Volume II will
take skiers to some of the most famous ski resorts
of the world, along with obscure destinations that
most people have never heard of. The new book
will cover such classic resorts as Kitzbühel, La
Plagne, Deer Valley, Aspen, Mammoth, Courmayeur, Davos, Grindelwald, Wengen, Ischgl, and
Voss, but it will also take skiers to unusual ski
destinations in Armenia, South Africa, Lesotho,
Israel, Russia, the Ukraine, Scotland, India,
Venezuela, and much more. Simultaneously with
the release of the new book will come a longawaited second printing of Volume One. The
books will be available to buy individually or as
a set. Jimmy hopes to have the book finished in
autumn of 2015. L
